The Malthouse in Test Valley

Took our mum for her birthday , we all had a roast . Absolutely amaizing , beef so tender , roasties crispy , lovely selection of veg. Puddings just as good. Very well presented , staff very professional . Thank you , we’ll be back.

Excellent service and food presentation and quality! New venue for our Book Club and everyone was pleased with their food and ambience of the place! Will definitely be returning and also booking Christmas meal, highly reccomend!

Great location..plenty parking,great price menu... Good size restaurant ,helpful friendly staff worth a visit.

First visit to this pub for a long time and will be coming back more frequently going forwards. The menu has a full range of unashamedly British food, that you grew up being served every night by your boomer mother. Eating this food is both a tasty meal and it warms the heart with a flood of memories of happy family dinners. It’s becoming a rare find, to walk into an independent pub in the UK, with a traditional home cooked menu like this and at very good prices. Whether you are ordering from the dining menu or from the bar menu, the value on offer is exceptional. A once classic Andover pub that was ruined with poncy previous ownership, is now fighting back with the current ownership by bringing the basics and doing them very well. The beer is good too 😁

Excellent Food , Drink and Service great selection and we were made to feel very welcome. Thanks for a wonderful night.

Had a lovely family evening at the Malthouse. Food was nicely presented and was delicious. The pub has some nice ales and the wine was also very nice. Service was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

3 adults stopping in for dinner. Highly recommended. Warm welcome from staff. Great food and willing to accommodate an elderly persons portion need. Pleasure to stay and eat.

Stopped in on the off-chance on Saturday lunchtime. Received a very friendly welcome. Really liked the lunchtime meal option, which is a two-thirds version of the full evening meal at two-thirds of the price. Exactly what we wanted, and a great idea. If we are in the area again, we will certainly re-visit for a meal.

Five of us came today for Sunday lunch, was excellent. Lovely meat roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding, proper fresh veg, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and green beans and gorgeous cauliflower cheese and gravy. Five roast beef dinners, three desserts, two bottles of wine and three pints of lager £108 .... excellent value. Big shout to Sean and the other waitress (sorry didn't get her name) friendly, attentive and worked really hard and nothing was too much trouble and of course the chef. 10/10 could not fault a thing, highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal in the Malt House, Andover today. Friendly staff and comfy, clean dining area. Definitely will be back!

Went to the Malthouse this evening for an unplanned meal, and was really pleased with the food offerings, value for money and excellent service from bar staff, mainly Sean who couldn't do enough for us, probably the best service we've had for a meal out in Andover. Food wise, I would definitely recommend the speciality lamb and mint burger 👌 quality was fantastic!

Waitress was cold and relatively unhelpful. Pint was full but rum and coke nowhere near. Pretty disapointed.

We arrived to have a couple of drinks since the pubs reopened. Entered the bar and after waiting about a minute we’re told to go outside and they’ll come take our order. Twenty minutes later and no one had been out to take any order. Not the first time this had happened, but we thought after lockdown there would be a bit more motivation to have customers. We could see the bar from where we were sitting, and 2 out of 3 bar staff on were just standing chatting to each other for most of that time. We just got up and left - popped our heads into main beer garden before going and there were not more than 30 people out there at the time. Such a shame that this is our local - will have to travel much further now for somewhere with decent service.

Yuk. Had a hair in my dinner. When I mentioned it to the waitress she didn’t seem surprised. When I paid the bill & asked if the chef had been informed nobody knew anything I don’t think I’ll bother to eat there again. Definitely wouldn’t recommend food

Fantastic delicious food. Waiter and bar man both very friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back.

Food here was good value and traditional pub food done well. The pub itself seems to lack a certain something in the way of atmosphere. The poor chap behind the bar was serving drinks and waiting tables. There was a bit of a wait between...

Last minute thought for mums birthday, 'simple' food cooked perfectly, lovely welcoming staff (two young lads behind bar were great) clean, welcoming and definitely be back!

Excellent food and ambience! Mike, Jack and Shaun were superb and afforded our party of 14 a warm welcome and attentive service throughout our evening celebrating my son's 13th birthday. I would thoroughly recommend the Malthouse as a cosy local with a superb menu !

This is a great place to eat, no ping food, good home-made quality food! Can't recommend high enough! Great food, Great place and a really friendly, professional Landlord. "I'LL BE Back!"

Staff not knowledgable of basic lunchtime menu. “What mushrooms are used in the mushroom and halloumi salad?” ............. “The big ones”!!!!! Sausage and Mash has “normal sausages” and the fish on the fish and chips is, normal white fish fillet!! Also no wine list. The...

This pub is located on one of the main roads leading out of Andover. It has a reasonable sized car park, and there is plenty of street parking in the area. The menu is fairly standard pub food, well cooked, nicely presented, and very reasonably...

Eaten here many times, food is cheap and of a good standard considering pricepoint. All staff here are great, which makes for a very comfortable experience. Lovely big safe space in garden so great for toddlers.

Went to the Malt House for a family meal. There are a wide range of meals available and the waiter (Sean) was excellent.

We visited here over over the Easter holidays, the pub is actually up the road from where we live but we’ve never eaten there before, it is slightly more expensive then your run of the mill pub but it’s certainly worth it. We fancied somewhere...

The Malthouse is the latest version of a pub on this site and it's great to see someone finally making a success of the place. The bar isn't huge but has a number of seating options and is a really pleasant place for a drink...

A welcoming pub, popular with locals and passing visitors. We arrived late in the evening, but it was no problem. The menu comprised good, unfussy pub food; steaks were genuinely excellent and good value. Complemented by a good selection of local ales and spirits. We’ll...

Visited as a group of six on a Saturday night. There was only one other couple in the restaurant but it was 6.30. All our meals were fantastic. Freshly cooked pub food. Very reasonably priced. Good gluten free menu. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely...

Just attempted to book a table for 6 for lunch to just receive rudeness and a lecture. Unimpressed I'm afraid! Real shame as in the past when we visited the food and service was good.

This pub is now consistently good, the food is good quality, plenty of it, and fairly priced. Good selection of beers and wine, staff friendly and efficient,

Eaten here a few times now, the food is always cooked lovely, the staff are friendly and there’s a nice family atmosphere. The place is nice and bright, and always clean. Would recommend here for a meal just couples or lunch with your family.

I came here last year for a few drinks before my birthday meal and ended up staying for the night we had that much fun defiantly recommend

Absolutely awful quality of food. Ok only £19.95 for three courses but I expect better than microwaved vegetables which I could see being done from our table. The meat was fatty and vegetables hard. Glasses weren't very clean either. Along with an awful smelling bar...

we use this pub quite a bit, the beer/wine is always good, service and friendly staff excellent, we have had some good meals here but on occasion we have been disappointed, if these guys can be consistent all of the time then great, I would...

Today we enjoyed a lovely lunch here - good price, good food,friendly service so the 6 of us all agreed we would definitely feel confident to recommend The Malthouse to our family & friends.

Not the cheapest place to eat, but curry was ok, and the sweet and sour chicken. There is a quiz every other Thursday at about 9.00 p.m. which was quite good fun.

Nice front of house, however, very long wait for average food probably because of an understaffed kitchen.

Visited bank holiday Monday lunch time three of us had the special beef stroganoff absolutely delicious and the bangers and mash was very impressive. The wait for the food was a bit longer than other places but well worth the wait as all the food...

Visited here Monday 13th August for evening meal with friends,we all had something different and the food was lovely and the service was very quick and friendly! We will definitely visit again.

My husband & I have had 2 excellent meals here in the last month so knew we wouldn't be disappointed when we went today, taking my sister-in-law. The food was soooo good, we already knew how good the traditional roasts are so decided to try...

We had dinner here last Wednesday. The menu is traditional pub food nothing fancy which really suits me. What we had was really well cooked and yummy. The waitress we had was really good, attentive but not overbearing. The pricing is reasonable and I think...

The decor is lovely. Good pint. Friendly barmaid, however the bloke in charge was not very friendly.... at the end of the night (22:30 on a Friday) we were sat outside, he came out and said he was locking up and we should leave round...

We had the Malt House Mix Up and there must have a mix up because instead of burger we got carpet. Everything else was quite tasty but shame there was no beef left.

We were looking forward to trying the Malthouse, so used a wedding anniversary as an excuse to book. It's pleasant and light inside, not the usual dark pub decor. It was clean and great to see that the tables were nicely spaced out. The welcome...

I've now been in the Malt house a few times on my own and with family and friends and each time I've been there I've ordered many different things from there fab menus and I've never been disappointed with the food that I've eaten there....

Great night beautiful food amazing service can’t wait to go again. was a busy staff done a great job

Not bad food but very basic food. Service fine. Waiters friendly and polite. Very cold in the restaurant area. Not much atmosphere.

We hired The Snug for our son's 18th Birthday celebrations with family and close friends. Mike and his team provided an excellent service with a reasonably priced buffet. Just what we needed for our 30 guests

Had a great meal, here the spicy chicken plata could feed 2 people , so much great food at only 10 for a meal. Would give it 5 stars but services was a bit slow. Will come bavk

Andover needs a pub like the Malthouse.. Very well run and staff are very well trained and courteous to customers. Good food with specials available. I attended the Italian night and it was fully booked and very good menu choice.

What a farce this pub/restaurant is. Long waits, low standard of food and bad service. This location has changed so many times and people have got it wrong all the time. It has the potential to do well, the LH came close but maybe tried...

It was a birthday evening meal for 3 people. The staff were friendly, attentive and very amenable. We were brought drinks quickly and we even told graciously that our food might be delay as a couple of orders went through at the same time. This...

Not long moved to the area and been to the Malt House twice for a roast, which wasn't anything to write home about due to the tiny portion sizes. Thought my partner and I would give it another go on Tuesday. It was just odd...

Went here for a breakfast with the commander and chief. We both had a fry up which you can customize to include what you would like, 50p an item for the usual breakfast fodder. nice touch less wastage. Good quality tasty sausages and everything else...

Came out for a bite to it on Saturday evening 2nd September, it was not busy lovely atmosphere, decor is lovely and nice pub feel. Food and service was a bit of a let down, mine was only like warm which I did complain and...

We are here one Sunday on a whim. We hadn't been on since the pub changed hands. We were suitably impressed the furniture was far more comfy and we were greeted with a warm welcome even though there were a fair few customers. My boy...

We booked a table for 8people on a Sunday afternoon,when we arrived the pub was not busy and most of us ordered the roast which when it arrived was poor. The roast potatoes were not roasted and reheated the Yorkshire puddings was reheated most of...

For the second saturday evening running we have had a very good meal here. Very attentive staff and excellent food. Standard pub menu but very well cooked and presented. Live music sometimes also and a friendly atmosphere.

Had a pub lunch there on Tuesday 8th August '17. One Hunters Chicken - so much to eat and so lovely, one Beer batter Cod & chips Superb. Batter just right, fish cooked to perfection & gorgeous tartare sauce. Well done Mike and your Chef.Keep...

So we had booked the malthouse for a special meal to celebrate an event and wanted to go now the initial rush had died down. Oh how we regret it now! The staff are all kids on school holiday jobs, they have no waiting skills...

We decided to go for lunch here during the week for my step father's birthday. We queued for approximately twenty minutes before being served at the till as it was really busy. When the food arrived, whilst mine and my step father's meals were fine,...

So it was sunday i was with the wife and the inlaws we just fancied a roast dinner as it was sunday . The starter i had chessy garlic bread hadnt been fully cooked properly .The meat was nice but none of the food had...

We decided to give this a try at the weekend and have to say it bore no resemblance to Mic L’s review below. We were the only ones in the bar area which still seems like an after-thought (as in the days of the Lunar...

Remembered that the Malt Shovel was up and running and decided to give it a try, staff were very welcoming and there was a good mix of food available, spent a very pleasant hour out in the garden, would recommend it and we will be...

First visit to the re-branded old Lunar Hare, It will go the same way if it continues to serve up the food we experienced on our first visit, we certainly will not be back, I ordered Beef Lasagne, it was dry, tasteless and bland, my...

Service at this re-opened restaurant absolutely fantastic atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming staff. The decor was very well done, very clean, well decorated with calming pastel shades, all tables very well laid. Ladies toilets and I believe also the men toilets were done to a...

Rebranded and under new management the Lunar Hare has arisen as The Malt House and is now worth a visit. The decor and seating is much the same but the atmosphere is now more friendly and the food much more reasonably priced. Now a good...
